Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

I'm trying to write a program that retrieves mail from an imap server. The user name and password won't validate. If I try to connect via pop3 it connects. The mail adminstrator says that I should be able to connect via imap and I am able to using Eudora. The mail adminstrator says we use a cleartext login. I am unable to force imap to use the login method. I have the following line in my properties file to disable Authentication plain.

prop.put("mail.imap.auth.plain.disable",true);

But it still tries to Authenticate plain. Can somebody tell me what I am doing wrong? Here is my code along with the stack trace.

import java.util.*;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;

public class ImapRead
{
Properties prop = null;

public ImapRead()
{
prop = new Properties();
prop.put("server", "mail.company.com");

prop.put("mail.imap.host", "mail.company.com");

prop.put("mail.imap.auth.plain.disable",true);


}

public void imapRun()
{
String host = prop.getProperty("server");
String username = prop.getProperty("username");
String password = prop.getProperty("password");
try {

Authenticator auth = new MailAuthenticator();

Session session = Session.getInstance(prop,auth);
session.setDebug(true);

Store store = session.getStore("imap");

store.connect(host,username,password);


store.close();

} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
System.exit(0);
}

}


public static void main(String[] args)
{
ImapRead mread = new ImapRead();
mread.imapRun();
}

}


Authenticator class
----------------------

mport javax.mail.*;
import java.util.*;

public class MailAuthenticator extends Authenticator
{
public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication()
{
String username = "username@mail.company.com";
String password = "password";
return new PasswordAuthentication(username,password);
}
}
